Lynne's Arts and Crafts home is really, really special. Not only is it totally charming, spacious, beautifully landscaped, and filled with wonderful original artwork and Arts and Crafts details, it has a remarkable relaxing, peaceful quality to it. I came to work on some projects for a week and I found it really easy to be productive in the extra sitting room / study that is attached to the bedroom. Outside, in the lovely backyard, there is a huge oak tree gives the house a kind of magical storybook feeling. Lynne is a wonderful host, the breakfasts were delicious and lovely, and it was wonderful to share her abode with a fellow artist and connect on so many levels. I did not want to leave!!

Our experience at Lynne's wonderful house was everything we had hoped for, and more! The surrounding neighborhoods are great for walking -- quiet, beautiful, with lots of interesting architecture. Lynne's breakfasts were scrumptious and healthy, and she was very flexible with preparing it according to what time we needed to be on our way each day. Lynne is cheerful and helpful, and clearly enjoys working in her garden and cooking in her kitchen. We loved this wonderfully preserved historic house, and our suite was not only beautiful, but also comfortable, clean, and functional. Lynne is an artist, and her work is on display throughout the house, along with other artifacts, books, and sculptures. The bed is truly comfy and we slept soundly each night of our week-long stay. In short -- wonderful!

The hostess, Lynne is welcoming and kind. She respects your privacy, but is available should you need anything. A nice breakfast was provided. The room is the library in a beautiful craftsman in a quiet neighborhood.

This home made me feel as though I was on vacation, even though I was on a month-long work trip. The hostess is gracious and extremely accommodating; the house is situated in a park-like setting; the suite is spacious and lovely.
You can opt for privacy or to socialize with the host and her friends--it's all very comfortable and relaxing.
I found myself wishing that I could move in permanently.

We had a wonderful stay with Lynne. The house is beautiful, the room comfortable and excellent for sitting and reading. Lynne was a very gracious host and made us delicious breakfasts every morning. It was the perfect place to stay and get away from it all.

Lynne made our stay delightful, welcomed us into her house, fed us breakfast (even at the crack of dawn to get us on our way to LAX on our last day), and gave us insider's tips including the best gelato shop in the city. Guest suite in the former library very private with separate door to the patio. Perfect location for us and we would come back

Reviews From Hosts

Lynne is a model guest and being an airbnb host herself she knows what that means. She is quiet, friendly, self sufficient, and everything was left in perfect shape.
We hope to see her again and highly recommend her as a guest (and host).
